The National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF) held a town hall meeting on Sunday, 1/15/12 to raise awareness of "preemptive prosecutions," the growing practice of prosecuting Muslim Americans on vague and trumped up conspiracy or material support charges -- before a real crime has been committed. Family and friends of prisoners were on hand to share their stories. Here, Laila discusses the prosecution and sentencing of her son Ziyad Yaghi, along with Hysen Sherifi and Omar Hassan.
